We’re huge nerds for all things Disney and Pixar. But, when it comes to the amount of detail that the animators put into the films, we can’t help but fangirl extra hard.
Pixar creates stories that bond generations and fans of all ages together as they take us on a journey around the world. And, we’re giving you a look at some of the real-life locations that have inspired Pixar movies!
Pixar’s Instagram page took us to the locations that inspired animators to create the films that we know and love! And, you won’t believe how realistic Pixar’s works of art are compared to the REAL places around the world! You can see the attention to detail that Pixar animators have used constructing places like the Sydney Opera House in Finding Nemo…
…the Day of the Dead ofrendas in Coco…
…rocks from Mount Roraima in Venezuela in Up…
…the New York City skyline in Soul…
…and Scotland’s lush countryside in Brave.
We didn’t think we could love Pixar more, but the beautiful scenery has made us fall in love with the movies all over again! As Pixar continues to release movies in the future, we’ll have to give you a look at the other real-life locations that inspire them! Stay tuned to DFB for more fun Disney news!
